For the fourteenth consecutive day, organizations and groups advocating the decriminalization of the termination of pregnancy for all three causes held their ground yesterday in the camp set up in front of the National Palace.

Activist Lourdes Contreras said her claim is the Criminal Code on grounds of liberalization of punishment for women and the environment of women, “who are obliged to interrupt a pregnancy in the three circumstances you already have. .
They will fight to the end
He assured that they will fight their fight to the end and that they will not take a break at Easter, because while the legislators are at work they will continue to fight.
“In this fight, we will remain in the camp until the end, until the final decisions on this issue have been made,” Contreras emphasized.
He criticized the decision of the President of the Chamber of Deputies, Alfredo Pacheco, that there are no people in the boxes as long as the decision is known.
“We also do not accept that there is no one in the boxes of the cameras, because it is a right of the citizens to watch, to be vigilant about the decisions of each of the delegates,” he said.
